    For information on programming the roomba using the SCI port, there is a good tutorial here: http://www.robotappstore.com/Knowledge-Base/3-Serial-Port-Baud-Rate-Configuration/17.html It goes over basic communication to the roomba via the SCI port - which this cable will allow you to do. Hope this helps!
